Pregnancy has been a kick in the butt for me! It’s been hard to work and even starting my second trimester, feeling ‘icky’ hasn’t subsided much. But, this week (knock on wood), I’ve had a little more energy and don’t feel quite as sick. I’ve worked out three days this week and today I took this photo soot and photographed a bunch of new shop items! It felt good to “get back in the swing of things.” Let’s hope this feeling sticks around for a while!  I hope I can fit in a few more photo shoots before I get too big and too far along!

Wedding Planning: Backyard BBQ

May 12, 2015

Life has been crazy, but wonderful for me this year. I  started off the beginning of February by getting engaged to my boyfriend, to then finding out a month later I was pregnant with a little surprise! Before finding out about the baby, we intended to get married in a year (or more). But, sometimes things change. We are both not very conventional, but the farther along in my pregnancy I went, the more it felt important to me to be married before our little one was born.

 

Long story short, after first thinking about eloping to Las Vegas to have an Elvis wedding, plans ended up changing when some family members weren’t happy about that plan. Instead we are having a backyard wedding at my mom’s house come Saturday, June 20. The plan is to have something small and casual with immediate family (less than 15 people). The tentative idea I have for the wedding is to do a vintage/retro barbeque style thing. I thought it would be fun to share with you all some of my ideas for my little wedding! (Of course, these ideas could easily change completely — who knows!)
